About the piece
This 1912 portrait by Anton Lindforss depicts the artist's brother, Martti, using a sophisticated technique of short, multi-colored brushstrokes that create a shimmering sense of light and atmosphere. The cool blue background provides a subtle contrast to the warm tones of the sitter's face and jacket, showcasing a refined example of Finnish modernism.
